One thing I have noticed is that at LAN parties, we're all on the same workgroup; buut... my machine (Desktop: AMD Athlon, Windows XP Professional SP2) am still unable to 'see' anyone else's machine and they are unable to see mine. Not sure if this affects MP, but I think this is due to your sharing settings. Or firewall.

I once emailed a person in Russia...requesting some rip removals from a site over there. I used Babelfish to do the translation.....and just as an experiment...I then reused Babel to revert back [Russian to English]. 'Sadly' the result had me in tears....of laughter.....it was vaguely similar to English ... if you closed your eyes and squinted a bit.... I found that translating into Japanese and back to English again makes great fotune cookie notes.

A scientific calculator (maybe even graphing calculator) that stays on the desktop or in the Sidebar. Only problem with this is that you rely on a plugin or ActiveX to do the drawing. DX is not capable of generating graphics on the fly through scripting. I'm actually making a mini-browser right now. I loads up the DesktopX scripting manual and gives the user to cache the content to disk for offline use. That and th

DesktopX runs fine on Vista. Only issue I have is that DesktopX's script editor uses an odd ugly font under Vista instead of Courier New or Consolas. You can change the font of the editor but the setting isn't saved. Vista is more that a pretty look. Most of it is under the hood. But mind you, I have disabled the UAC my self because I constantly mess about with the system settings and where getting fed up the extra clicks. Don't care if people say it less secure, a good antivirus, f

To edit your avatar, go to your accounts settings and you'll be able to upload an image under the "Update images" section. I assume that's what you where looking for.

A big website with many pages will benefit from layer separation so that it's easier to manage it. If you have 50 pages, or more even, you don't want to iterate through each page to update your layout. That's why you put everything into one external CSS file. And if you have a big site you most likely want to make your content accessible to as big an audience as possible. So you want to cater for normal web browsers, people with accessibility problems, mobile phone access perhaps (the web is

That's XHTML. Oups...honest typo... No, I meant: combination of HTML and XML as you proposed is XHTML. rue...this works very good. CSS for layout elements and HTML for everything else. But that's for small/personal sites. Not big sites IMO. You mean that big sites don't benefit from layer separation? It's big sites that should use that and will benefit the most.

Of course, I use a cross use of CSS and HTML. Although CSS is said to completely eliminate HTML, I find that a combination is best. CSS is not suppose to eliminate HTML. They are two very different things. HTML defines the structure of the document, while CSS defines the layout. It's just that back in the 90's people started to add sorts of non-structural elements to HTML. And I'd strongly suggest that you switch to complete separation of HTML and CSS

Whenever a legacy app needs to disable the Aero feature in Vista my screen become very slow. I can actually see things being rendered. I can only compare it to when I had XP and default graphics drivers where installed. Is anyone else experiencing that? I don't experience that on my old computer which got an ATI card installed. Got Forceware 100.65 installed btw and the graphicscard is an XFX Geforce 6800 GT.
